You know what they say, “You teach what you most need to learn.” Since starting my personal discovery journey 13...

Happy New Year! Let’s make 2023 the year of, I AM ENOUGH! This feeling of “not enough” is so prevalent in our culture today.

I often find that once we gain awareness around behavior patterns we want to change, we end up discouraging ourselves by beating ourselves up for not being different. Change takes time and a commitment. Permanent behavior change is a PROCESS. We are not use to a process. We are used to rewards and punishments. This plays our internally as we reward our “good” behavior and punish our “bad” behavior...

We live in a culture that runs on a system of rewards and consequences. Consequences (as we use them in the traditional model) leaves one asking, "What will happen to me if I don't do this?" Rewards leave one asking, "What will I get if I do this?" What we want to be asking is, "What kind of a person do I want to be?" This system is used in our homes, institutions, and work places.

Life is full of opportunities to learn new skills. Whether you're learning a new sport or how to show up differently in a relationship (including parenting) it takes time to master new skills.
